Thomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen bb31a4ac19 man: typo fixes
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55890

Fixed typos, serial comma, and removed "either" as there were more
than two options. Also did an extra rename of "system-shutdown"
to "systemd-shutdown" that was forgotten in commit

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_id128_to_string()</function>
formats a 128 bit ID as character string. It expects
the ID and a string array capable of storing 33
characters. The ID will be formatted as 32 lowercase
hexadecimal digits and be terminated by a NUL
byte.</para>
<para><function>sd_id128_from_string()</function>
implements the reverse operation: it takes a 33
character array with 32 hexadecimal digits
(terminated by NUL) and parses them back into an
128 bit ID returned in
<parameter>ret</parameter>.</para>
<para>For more information about the
<literal>sd_id128_t</literal> type see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-id128</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>When formatting a 128 bit ID into a string it is
often easier to use a format string for
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. This
is easily done using the
<function>SD_ID128_FORMAT_STR</function> and
<function>SD_ID128_FORMAT_VAL()</function> macros. For
more information see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-id128</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para><function>sd_id128_to_string()</function> always
succeeds and returns a pointer to the string array
passed in. <function>sd_id128_from_string</function>
returns 0 on success (in which case
<parameter>ret</parameter> is filled in), or a negative
errno-style error code.</para>
